Sakeenah Canada Mental Health Webinar Not Just The ‘Baby Blues’: Post-Partum Depression

Bringing a baby home is often considered one of the most joyful moments in a new parent’s life. However, for some, this experience isn’t always filled with excitement. In fact, for some, these less-than-ideal feelings can begin during pregnancy, and continue into the postpartum period.

This is a webinar for everyone and anyone. While we often hear of mothers experiencing PPD and PPA, fathers can also experience it. We’ll also be discussing how to support one’s partner through this time.
